Steven Gerrard criticizes Tyrone Mings after stripping England defender of Aston Villa captaincy

Steven Gerrard has claimed that Tyrone Mings must show significant improvement if he is to return to the starting line-up while also questioning the attitude of the England defender. Before the start of the season, the 29-year-old was stripped of the captaincy in favor of John McGinn. Mings was an unused substitute in his side's 2-0 opening day defeat to Bournemouth with Ezri Konsa and new signing Diego Carlos – who both played the full 90 minutes – preferred by Gerrard.
